When adult learners decide to enter the world of higher learning, they are faced with the decision of which modality of learning would work best for their learning preferences and lifestyle. Online learning provides two learning modalities to choose from. Depending on personal preferences students may choose from synchronous or asynchronous learning modalities. If a student selects an asynchronous modality he or she will be exposed to various delivery mediums of instruction.

They also may not realize that different mediums can be used for both synchronous and asynchronous learning.
